Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP)

Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme (IHSDP) is a Centrally Sponsored programme aiming at the holistic development of Slums in Urban areas. The programme was formulated by Central Government by combining two erstwhile schemes viz.ValmikiAmbedkarAvas Yojana (VAMBAY) and National Slum Development Programme (NSDP). The project was beneficial to the urban areas of the State by providing housing and basic facilities to the slum dwellers. IHSDP is being implemented in 45 ULBs. The projects are being implemented in the State with Kudumbashree as State Level Nodal Agency.

The financing pattern is in the ratio of 80:20 by Central and State Governments. Beneficiary share (12% for General and 10% for SC/ST) is stipulated for projects for individual housing. Out of 20% State share the balance fund after deducting beneficiary share will be borne equally by the ULB and State (Maximum state share is 10% of the total Project Cost).
